The Gympie Rattler Historic Rail Tour




What to Expect





Travel back in time for a full day of inspiring scenery and old-time adventure aboard a lovingly-restored heritage train through the historic and beautiful Mary Valley.
It’s a perfect day out for families, groups of friends, clubs and anyone who wants to experience the richness of the Sunshine Coast’s historic hinterland by classic train.
Love a steam train (and who doesn’t)? Climb aboard the Mary Valley Rattler on Wednesdays, Saturdays or Sundays. For the full rail motor experience, book Thursdays. There’s a whole fleet to explore. And because we do all the planning, booking and driving, all you have to do is turn up and enjoy the experience!
